National Hobby Month, celebrated every January, is a time to explore new interests and dive into the diverse world of personal passions.

Whether you're picking up a paintbrush for the first time, knitting a cozy scarf, or planting your first garden, hobbies provide a wonderful opportunity to learn, relax, and express creativity. This month encourages individuals to discover new hobbies or rekindle old ones.

The Glen Ridge Public Library is the one-stop-shop for any hobbyist - veteran or newbie! Explore our card catalog to find new books on cooking and cooking techniques. Hop onto our online services to learn a language with Mango; or try your hand at a new craft with Craftsy. Plan your spring garden with plants from our Native Seed Library; or become your family's archivist with slide scanners, digitizers, and converters from our Library of Things. The Library's got you covered!

Explore new passions this January by selecting anything off of the reading list below:
